Nicki Minaj performs at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City.

Nicki Minaj took over NYC's Oculus for the VMAs on Monday night to perform a Queen-themed medley surrounded by regal imagery and opulence. The rap royal kicked things off with "Majesty," followed by "Barbie Dreams" and "Fefe" (sans 6ix9ine) in a high-energy show that drove the Barbz wild.

Flanked by an army of dancers while exuding her signature swagger, Minaj slayed the show like a true New Yorker.
